Liam: I know. I know it is, and I want to bring it back to what it once was.
I want to return Forrester to its roots -- that sense of pride and community
that your grandparents instilled in everyone who worked there, because, Steffy,
I'm telling you, Rick has erased all that. You wouldn't even recognize the
company anymore. So -- so help me. If we pool our resources, we'll be on our way
to taking control of Forrester Creations back from Rick.

Brooke: Tell Caroline you forgive her. Tell her you want her back.

Maya: You can't be serious. Brooke, Eric tried this already. It didn't work
with him, and it's not gonna work with you.

Brooke: His father and I understand what's going on here, Maya, whether you
choose to or not.

Rick: Mom, stop. I appreciate your concern. I do. I've moved on.

Katie: Dunk it, just like Daddy showed you. Yep. There you go. All right. One
more time? Oh!

Bill: Honey, I'm home!

Katie: Hi! That's, uh -- that's cute. That's very good.

Bill: Well, I just kind of figure if I say it enough times, it just might
come true.

Katie: [Chuckles] I thought I had tomorrow to get you the marketing report.

Bill: How I feel -- that there's only one woman I want to spend my life with,
and that I'm hoping you'll want to spend it with me, too.

Ivy: There we go.

Zach: All right. Thank you. I'll get this to Julie right away.

Ivy: Cool. Thanks, Zach.

Aly: So, he's really cute.

Ivy: Yeah. Well, these are amazing, but I think you should just think about
changing a couple of the buckles.

Aly: Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I'll make that change. Thank you.

Ivy: Well, you I mean, you don't have to. I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Aly: No, no, no. I appreciate it. I need all the help I can get if I have any
chance of getting my shoe line off the ground. And, plus, I trust your
instincts.

Ivy: Well, maybe you shouldn't. Judging by how Rick obviously feels about me
nowadays, you might be better off staying away from me entirely.

Brooke: You're in pain, honey. Your instinct is to hurt Caroline.

Rick: It's not about sticking it to Caroline. It's not about some sort of
revenge. It's so much more than that. What I have with Maya -- I've never felt
that kind of support, that appreciation, that loyalty.

Brooke: Rick, deep down, you know that your relationship with Maya is just
temporary.

Maya: Why? Because I'm not a Spencer? Because I didn't come from privilege,
and I'm just a model? Is there something wrong with me, Brooke?

Steffy: Look, I'm frustrated by the rumors I'm hearing about Rick, but I
don't understand what we can do about it.

Liam: Well, my father is willing to give me control of his shares, right? You
combine that with yours and Thomas', and we can start working on ousting Rick and
getting control of the entire company.

Steffy: My granddad gave him irrevocable control. We can't make a move for at
least a full year.

Liam: Come on. If you and I work together, we can do anything. The fact is,
Steffy, Rick is out of control. I mean, he's treating everyone like garbage. If
we do nothing, if we just sit back and let him carry on down this path, there
won't be a company left a year from now.

Bill: Hey. Will asleep?

Katie: Yeah. He insisted that I give this to you. He was very clear.

Bill: That's because that's my boy looking out for his daddy.

Katie: I think he likes having you around.

Bill: I am a good time.

Katie: [Chuckles]

Bill: How 'bout his mama? Does she like having me around?

Katie: Yes... but a lot has happened.

Bill: A lot has happened. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Moving
forward, that could make our bond even stronger.

Katie: Maybe it could.

Bill: My future is with you, Katie. I was angry at Brooke when she left. I
didn't understand why she did it. She knew what I didn't -- that I needed time
away from her, so I could get some clarity about what I really wanted. And now I
know what I want -- you... you and Will... our family.

Brooke: There's nothing wrong with you, Maya. I just feel that Rick has moved
on way too quickly, living with you too soon, hanging your picture above the
fireplace. I'm concerned.

Rick: There's nothing to be concerned about.

Brooke: You brought a gun into the office.

Rick: To give to my attorney.

Brooke: You shot it. You could have killed somebody.

Rick: I fired a couple shots -- nowhere near them, by the way. You might have
done the same thing if you saw them making out on the couch. It repulses me. And
don't say it's because I still care, because I don't. I've moved on. Caroline's
no better than Amber. I thought she had grace. I thought she had class. But it
doesn't matter when you're just another liar.

Brooke: Rick, you're looking for perfection. You're not going to find it in
anybody.

Rick: No, but I can get a hell of a lot closer. The divorce papers are
signed. I'm with Maya now. And Caroline -- well, it appears she's moved on with
Ridge. As sickening as it is... maybe it's for the best.

Steffy: You know, I just -- I don't like the idea of selling, especially to
Spencer.

Liam: Okay, listen -- Eric is retiring soon. You know that. And whether you
like it or not, Spencer still has a stake in Forrester Creations. You'd bank a
ton of money. You'd get to stay involved. You could keep your job at
International. Best of all, maybe I could convince you to come back to L.A. and
run the company with me. But I need you. I need you in order to make this work,
Steffy -- you and Thomas.

Steffy: No, Thomas won't sell.

Liam: He looks up to you. Maybe you could sway him. Steffy, take a risk. Save
your company. Join forces with me.

Steffy: Just don't you dare take her to Aspen, because that's our place,
okay?

Liam: Are you kidding me? There are so many places I associate with you --
Aspen, this house, down by the beach. And even though we've moved on, and we life
halfway across the planet from one another, it still... it makes me happy to
know there's places I can go to think about you, moments I can look back on,
happy memories of what we once were.

Maya: Thank you. I knew how you felt about me, but hearing you say it in
front of your mom and Caroline - it just really let me know that you want me and
how much being with me means to you.

Rick: And I'll keep saying it to anyone who needs to hear it. I'll say it
again and again. You're the woman I want to spend my life with. Always.

Brooke: You don't expect to have a relationship with Ridge, do you? I mean, I
understand the attraction more than anybody. Ridge is an incredibly sexy,
talented man, and I'm sure the chemistry between the two of you is very intense.

Caroline: It is.

Brooke: Well, don't forget, there have been many women who have had that same
connection with him before you.

Caroline: Well, yeah. Sure. But it is more than just chemistry.

Brooke: [Sighs] My dear Caroline, Ridge flirts. He's very precarious. Many
women want to be with him. But if you think this is going to be something more
--

Caroline: It is.

Brooke: Be realistic. You are not going to have a relationship with him.

Steffy: Things could have been so different.

Liam: Yeah. It didn't really turn out the way we planned, did it? But it
doesn't do either of us any good to live with regret, either.

Steffy: Yeah, agreed. But, Liam, I will always... my feelings for you will
never change.

Caroline: You haven't been here, Brooke. I have been hurt, terribly, by your
son.

Brooke: By your own actions. You betrayed Rick.

Caroline: I kissed another man, and that was not the best choice, but Rick is
the one who did the betraying.

Brooke: Look, I didn't mean to touch a nerve. But Rick does hold you
accountable for your actions, and I get it. A lot has happened. You both hurt
each other.

Caroline: I'll give you that.

Brooke: I can see how you'd get swept up in the idea of Ridge. But you're not
the first woman, and you're not gonna be the last.

Caroline: And, again, Brooke, you haven't been here, so you haven't seen what
Ridge and I have been through together.

Brooke: I don't need to see that. I've seen it countless times -- how women
think they have this cosmic connection with Ridge, and then they think they can
just...

Caroline: That they can just what?

Brooke: They can replace me.

Caroline: Oh, my God. Are -- are you serious?

Brooke: If you think you have a future with Ridge...

Caroline: Who says I don't?

Brooke: Oh, boy.

Caroline: What?

Brooke: Caroline, if I wanted to have Ridge back, I could have
him...just...like...that.

Bill: Tell me you want this as much as I do.

Katie: I miss our life together. I do. I miss our marriage. I miss who we
were together. But I don't know how to go back to that.

Bill: We don't. We move forward, smarter, more prepared. Listen, I think we
needed that time apart, so we could fully appreciate and understand each other.

Katie: Maybe you're right. I-I have new perspective on how unique we were and
how we understood each other and how we encouraged the best parts of each other.

Bill: And leaned on each other and pushed when necessary. You were my perfect
partner. You encouraged me when I needed it. You got on me when I needed that.
You challenged me. That's always who you've been, Katie. You've given me so much
-- first and foremost, a son.

Katie: [Chuckles]

Bill: Yes, I have Liam and Wyatt, but I wasn't there to raise them. You gave
me the gift of Will. And we've been -- you know, we've been doing okay splitting
time. But I don't want that anymore. I don't want to be a part-time parent.

Katie: I don't want that, either. I hate it, but if you just want me because
I'm the mother of your --

Bill: I want you... because you're Will's mother. Yes, that's true. But
that's just a small part of a much bigger picture. I want you... because you're
always the smartest woman in the room, because you're sexy as hell. I want you
because I've never met anybody more stubborn than I am. And I want you because
you excite me. And, most importantly, I want you because when you look at me
that certain way you do, you inspire me to be the man that you believe I am. So,
let's not lose another moment. Let's put our family back together. You know,
Will is young enough that he won't even remember a time when we were apart.
